Packers' Jordan Love Addresses Status for Season Opener After Thumb Surgery

The Packers haven't seen nearly as much of Jordan Love as they'd probably like this summer. Green Bay's starting quarterback hurt his thumb in the very first preseason game of the year, and wound up getting surgery to correct the issue. Fortunately for Love and his team, it was thumb surgery on his non-throwing hand, so it took no time at all for the signal-caller to return to training camp in some fashion. Love hasn't been a full participant since the surgery, but took snaps on Thursday—the furthest sign of his progress yet.

Speaking to Kay Adams after practice about the situation, Love described how he was able to get back to football activity as quickly as he did, and addressed his status for the Packers' Week 1 clash with the Lions scheduled for September 7.
